Members of Sahastata differ distinctly from other genera of Filistatinae by the shape of the calamistrum (two-three rows, not placed in a crest), presence of a dense ventral scopula on the femora I and II of females (Benoit 1968), dense hairs on female sternum and labium and several small spines on the femora I and II of males. So far, Sahastata males are known only by one species from India, Sahastata ashapuriae Patel, 1978. Unfortunately, the description of this species lacks several important characters, such as female internal genitalia and cribellum and male legs spination (cf. Patel 1978), which are critical for the genus recognition and the separation of species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/42D8DE67E4B510E22F346576E0BB52B0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Zamani).</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Females of Sahastata sinuspersica can be distinguished from the other female congeners by having one pair of receptacle heads connected to the epigastric furrow by a pair of ducts, while Sahastata nigra Simon, 1897 present two pairs of spermathecae heads (Benoit 1968: fig. 4) and Sahastata sabaea Brignoli, 1982 has the duct connected to the bursa copulatrix (Brignoli 1982: fig. 18) (Fig. 3 e–f). The male differs from all known filistatids except for Filistata puta O.Pickard-Cambridge, 1876 (sensu Wunderlich 1995) by having numerous small spines on femora I and II. Males of Sahastata sinuspersica and Filistata puta both have relatively long palps but differ by the shape of the bulb: conical and tapering in Sahastata sinuspersica and with round tegular part in Filistata puta (Wunderlich 1995: figs 2-4). The bulb of Sahastata sinuspersica is very similar to that in Sahastata ashapuriae . Although the latter species is poorly-described and illustrated, it can be easily distinguished from Sahastata sinuspersica by having palps longer than leg I (palp twice shorter than leg I in Iranian species).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male. Total length 4.85. Carapace 2.32 long, 1.75 wide, 0.5 high, flat, light-colored, with V-shaped brown median spot reaching clypeus and poorly distinct radial stripes, covered with short adpressed dark hairs, postocular area with few strong erected hairs (Fig. 2 b–c). Eye tubercle moderately elevated, brownish-black. Chelicerae with median brown bands (Fig. 2 b–c). Sternum uniformly light-colored (Fig. 2d), hairs covering sternum not as dense as in female (Marusik et al. 2014: fig. 24). Legs light brownish-yellow, darker than carapace, metatarsi and tarsi darker than other segments due to dense brownish hairs (Fig. 2a, d). Legs very long, first leg four times longer than body (Fig. 2a). All legs with distinct spines, femora I with numerous pro- and retrolateral small spines (Fig. 2b, f), femora II with less dense spination prolaterally. All leg tarsi with pseudosegmentation (cuticular cracks) (Fig. 2a, d). Calamistrum absent.

Abdomen brownish, with dark brown anterior part of dorsum and distinct light median stripe. Book lungs (Bl) very large (length about 1/3 of abdomen length) (Fig. 2b), tracheal spiracle (Ts) wide, located almost on half way from epigastric furrow to cribellum (Fig. 2e).
